Bale cost Real a world-record £85million when he left Tottenham in 2013.

"There have been some ups and downs but personally I think I've played well," he said.
"I've maybe not scored as many important chances as I'd like but my general play has been good. My finishing is not as good and that's something to work on for next year.
"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger and I'll learn from this season and take it on."
